camera fun

I'm gearing up for my photo season and thought I would try out some new tricks with my camera. I mainly only shoot on manual mode where I get to choose my own settings based on light and what I'm shooting. I've been having some minor focusing issues with my camera so I got my user guide out and as I was troubleshooting with that, I found something new to try in regards to focusing. So these are the pictures I took when practicing that.
